The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1267 Contradictions
"Contradiction?" Hong Xiaoxiao thought about it for a moment and smiled sheepishly, "I... don't quite understand."

Others also seem to understand but are waiting for the following.

"Everyone!" Gregor opened his arms and pointed at the huge black wall and white wall respectively. His movements looked a bit silly, like he was doing gymnastics stretching exercises.

"These two walls, one black and one white, are always in opposition and irreconcilable. Isn't this a contradiction?"

"There are humans on one side and no humans on the other. Isn't it a contradiction?"

Everyone started thinking.

"Yes! It must be!" It was Wang Zikai who broke the silence. He actually didn't think about it, he just hoped to find a breakthrough and leave this ghost place quickly.

"Everyone knows!" Gregor became more and more excited and spoke impassionedly:
“Everything in the world exists in the form of contradictions. Where there is life, there is death, where there is truth, there is falsehood, where there is love, there is hate, where there is good, there is evil, where there is yin, there is yang, where there is the Cangdao, there is the greedy snake. You Who can find a non-contradiction?"

Everyone remained silent and thought deeply.

Gregor looked at Dr. Jia: "Old Jia, do you think this room is the initial battlefield between Cang Dao and Snake? Of course, due to the limitations of us humans, we cannot see the true appearance of the war, but this is not important. The important thing is , this battlefield symbolizes two opposites that are infinitely high, infinitely long, and infinitely large. In short, it symbolizes the sum of contradictions.”

"So!" Gregor concluded, "To sum up the problem in this room, it can only be a contradiction!"

"Teacher Gao is awesome!" Zhang Wei heard clearly this time and was shocked.

"Well, not bad." Dr. Jia, who was engaged in scientific research, once again looked at Gregor, who was engaged in literature, with admiration.

"Contradiction is a problem, what's the answer?" Horse asked.

Gregor was stunned and smiled awkwardly, "I haven't thought of it yet. We can brainstorm ideas."

In the following period, everyone put forward their own ideas, but none of them were convincing enough.

Meng Yang, who had woken up and was "listening" carefully throughout the whole process, mustered up the courage and raised her little hand.

"Cute little sheep, do you have the answer?" Suzaku smiled softly.

The tengu hurriedly picked up the cute sheep and made her eye level with everyone.

Meng Yang blinked and said seriously: "The answer to the contradiction is protection."

Everyone was stunned and didn't react.

Gregor didn't understand either, but he found the answer very interesting and asked with a smile: "Cute little sheep, can you explain it to uncle?"

Meng Yang nodded: "Spears and shields are weapons, and weapons are for warriors. Dad said that warriors fight to protect the people they love..."

The cute sheep's eyes were red and she lowered her head.

Suzaku felt a little distressed and touched her head.

"Children's thinking is really out of the ordinary," Zhang Wei said.

The horse nodded, "That's an interesting answer."

"Did I make a mistake?" Mengyang rubbed his eyes, "Then, I'll think about it again."

"Cute little sheep, don't force it." Zhang Wei seized the opportunity to teach others, "What we are discussing is not the real spear and shield, but what they symbolize. You are still young and cannot see the essence through the phenomenon..."

"No." Gao Yang suddenly said: "Meng Yang is the first person to see the essence through phenomena."

"Ah?" Zhang Wei was embarrassed: No, Brother Yang, you make me look stupid like this!
Gao Yang stepped forward and gently rubbed Meng Yang's head: "Meng Yang, you are so amazing. You may have helped me find the answer."

"Yeah!" Mengyang nodded vigorously, feeling happy every time he could help someone.

Gao Yang turned around and looked at the gray river below. On both sides of the river were infinite high walls, one black and one white, extending to the end of his sight.

After thinking briefly, Gao Yang said calmly:

"When I came here in my dream, I named this place in my mind, the Wall of Black and White, but Cang Gou called this place the Black and White Corridor. Why?" "It's nothing, it's just a different name. ." Zhang Wei said.

"Why are the names different?" Gao Yang asked.

Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand: "Because...the key points that you see first are different?"

Gao Yang nodded: "What I see is the phenomenon, what Cang Gou sees is the essence."

Everyone was shocked.

Gao Yang continued: "I saw the opposition between the black and white walls at a glance. This is a phenomenon. Cang Gou saw the state of the opposition between the two walls, and it gave birth to a new thing, the corridor."

"Ah!" Gregor was the first to follow the train of thought: "The answer to the contradiction is..."

Gregor took a deep breath: "Unify!"

Gao Yang repeated in a deep voice: "Unification."

"Haha! That's it!" Gregor seemed to have finally figured out the most accurate word in the poem, and his eyes burst with the heat of inspiration:

"Everything in the world is full of contradictions, but these contradictions are heading toward unity!"

Gregor turned around, raised his arms and shouted, as if he wanted to embrace the world:

"A spear and a shield are equipment, life and death are living, truth and falsehood are existence, love and hate are cause and effect, good and evil are the world, yin and yang are Tai Chi! There is Cang There is a greedy snake that is the universe!”

"The problem of the black and white corridor is contradiction, and the answer to contradiction is unity!"

The huge empty black and white corridor has no echo.

But Gregor's words were so powerful that they lingered in everyone's heart.

No one said anything, because no one had any doubts. Everyone thought that this was the question and answer to the black and white corridor.

"Wow--"

Behind everyone, on the tree trunk like a gray cliff, gray hair was pushed to both sides. The texture on the bark squirmed like beautiful patterns in craft paintings, and then cracked, revealing a huge oval tree hole.

The tree hole flashed with white light, and Cang Gou, who had put on his mask again, walked out of the white light. His voice was no longer frivolous, but became polite and unfamiliar: "Everyone, please follow me to the next room."

"We got the answer right! Brother Yang is awesome!" Zhang Wei shouted, his voice almost breaking.

"I don't get any credit for co-writing, right?" Gregor pretended to be angry.

"You just take the blame. The main credit goes to my brother, and then to Meng Yang." Wang Zikai thought he gave a fair evaluation.

"Okay, okay, okay, okay." Gregor couldn't laugh or cry.

"Cang Gou, so we got the answer right?" Suzaku confirmed.

"I don't know." Cang Gou replied.

"What do you mean?" asked the horse.

"You hand over your answers, and you can decide whether to open the door." Cang Gou paused, "I'm just the invigilator, not the grader."

"Okay, don't worry, just open the door." Zhang Wei looked at Gao Yang: "Brother Yang, are you leaving?"

Gao Yang turned his back to everyone, with a slight backlight.

A few seconds later, he stepped towards the tree hole with dazzling white light.

Others had different moods, but followed with the same determination.
